National-Pierogi-Day

Today is National Pierogi Day, so, I had them for lunch (and dinner!) These pierogi's are Mrs. T's Four Cheese Medley Mini Pierogi's, with some finely shredded cheddar cheese on top.
I misread the directions for this challenge and thought we had to scraplift "Tulips."

National Pierogi Day
These little dumplings from Central Europe, often filled with potato and/or cheese, have their own "day!" Some say it was Saint Hyacinth who brought these tasty morsels to his native Poland from Kiev. Fillings can range from savory to sweet. Potato or sour cream is sometimes added to the dough to lighten it. They are traditionally boiled in water or broth. They are considered the "national dish" of Poland. In the U.S. in the late 20th century, they became associated with triathlons as a way to "carbo-load" before races. Mrs. T's, the largest producer of pierogi in the U.S. (over 500 million per year) even sponsored some races. According to that company, "...pierogi consumption in the United States is largely concentrated in a geographical region dubbed the "Pierogi Pocket", an area including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Chicago, Detroit, parts of the northern Midwest and southern New England which accounts for 68 percent of annual US pierogi consumption."
